In this article, we explore how adults with arthritis use self-care strategies in their valued leisure activities, and variations in use based on their access to environmental resources. We conducted six focus groups (N = 34) with adults aged 55 and older with a diagnosis of arthritis. Adults living in residential communities were recruited, with 31% of the sample residing in subsidized housing. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using content analysis based on themes of selective optimization with compensation. We found some differences in strategy use between the resource-rich and resource-poor participants. Adults highlighted the value of their leisure activities and the importance of leisure in maintaining their health and well-being. Our findings point to the need to incorporate leisure education into interventions and programs targeting adults with arthritis.
在本文中，我们探讨了关节炎患者如何在有价值的休闲活动中使用自我护理策略，以及根据他们对环境资源的获取情况，使用策略的变化。我们对 34 名年龄在 55 岁及以上、被诊断患有关节炎的成年人进行了六组焦点小组讨论。我们招募了居住在住宅社区的成年人，其中 31%的样本居住在补贴性住房中。我们使用基于选择性优化与补偿主题的内容分析方法对焦点小组的记录进行了分析。我们发现资源丰富和资源匮乏的参与者在策略使用上存在一些差异。成年人强调了他们休闲活动的价值，以及休闲活动在维持他们健康和幸福方面的重要性。我们的研究结果表明，有必要将休闲教育纳入针对关节炎患者的干预措施和项目中。
